Frequently Asked Questions?
The amount of compensation you can claim varies, because it is not the same amount for every claim. It depends on the extent of your injuries, loss, treatment you require and pain and suffering you have suffered as a result. There are four different entitlements, loss of income, treatment expenses, domestic care and pain and suffering. For pain and suffering compensation the maximum amount payable as at 1 July 2020 is $432,000. To claim pain and suffering compensation, the total general damages for other losses such as loss of income, treatment expenses, domestic care has to be more than $22,500. Factors such as your age, your pre-injury working capacity, intention and health also has an impact to the amount of compensation you can claim. To be eligible to claim you need to be found not mostly at fault. If the fault of the accident is not clear or if the driver at fault denies it was their fault, witness statements from eyewitnesses and police reports will be required to assist all parties in determining who was wholly or mostly at fault.

The resolution time for your motor vehicle accident claim may vary depending on many factors. Whilst we appreciate you want to resolve your claim as soon as possible, at the same time you do not want to resolve your claim without ensuring all losses and consequences, both past and future are taken into account. Each car accident has its own impacts on everyone differently and depending on the circumstances, the time it takes to resolve your claim varies. For example, if you need to have surgery our car accident lawyers would advise against resolving your claim until after the surgery to ensure its costs, consequences (if any) and impact are all taken into account in your claim. Other factors such as expectations also has an impact as to when your claim will resolve. For example, However, it usually takes an average of 1.5 years for our car accident lawyers to resolve claims for our clients who have not had surgery.
Injured claimants do not have to commence court proceedings to make a car accident claim. Usually claims are resolved between the ICWA and the injured claimant and/or their lawyer. Most claims do not proceed to trial as they settle beforehand.
